Comments Thread For: Ariza: Pacquiao-Cotto More Likely Than Mayweather Fight

[Carpe Diem]

Manny has stated a few times now that he wants to fight FLoyd...What is your angle here?

Of course he did. They both want it. But my point is, in terms of style that fit Manny's style, he would more willingly to fight Cotto. I never said he wouldn't fight Floyd or vise versa. I'm talking about between the styles of both Floyd and Cotto, Manny would have less problem with Cotto's style.

The reasons I gave up on you:

1) You sound like a broken record...Meaning you really have nothing to add to this topic.

2) What you are really trying to say is, that in Pac's rise to the top, he was fed fighters that were "tailor" made for him...Yet he was not favorite in any fight, except maybe against Hatton.

3) Now this is a huge if, but if Manny just runs through Floyd, many will say Floyd's style was made for him...You know, the fact that Floyd no longer throws combos, and is not active at all.

4) This goes back to my first point. You just wanted to make a "hit & run" comment, and I called you on it. That is why you just keep repeating yourself.

5) Floyd is Manny's first option...Manny doesn't care about Floyd style. He wants the fight.

6) Cotto is option 2. No matter what the styles are, Cotto is option #2. If the Floyd fight is made, we will not have to worry about seeing Manny stomp Cotto again...

7) You get it yet?

Edit:

8) This isn't even Manny talking!!!!! It's Alex!

9) The same can be said about Floyd...Maybe Floyd doesn't want to face Manny's style...As a Floyd fan though, you would never understand that (not saying that is the case, but it goes both ways buddy).

Floyd doesn't want to fight so Pac should move on and go for his 8th world title. His legacy will be set and he should retire after that

ariza is using his own drugs.pacquiao does'nt even belong in the same league as mayweather. if they fight floyd is going to embarrass this one dimensional southpaw in front of the world. this fight will be so easy that floyd will get bored.pac does'nt even have a jab.very easy work for mayweather.

[DiLLiNGER]

I say there is no point talking about pacquiao/mayweather..people should just move on..if it happens good if not **** em.

funny we didn't hear anything from floyd the last weeks

Whatever happen to not negotiating through the media?

I think Pac want that fight more than the Floyd fight, it suit his style better.

I think he do want that fight, but at the same time, i think he would more willingly to fight Cotto. Cotto's style is easier for him.

I beleive that Pacman's camp is just using Cotto's name to try to have PBF sign a contract. I really beleive that Pacman want's the fight that's why he publicaly agreed to the 14 day cut off drug policy and since then no word has been said from PBF camp, Cotto's name is just used to put some pressure.

It's easier to make, but you have to lying to yourself if you don't think Cotto's style suit Manny more.

I agree, however i do beleive that at 154 and with Stewart it should be a closer fight, not saying that Cotto will beat him but will have better possibilities than fighting him at 145.

Having said that I hope they get PBF-Pacman signed, this is what all boxing fans want to see.

Damn good stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed reading that.

Pac had already jabbed Floyd into (a year or 2) hiding/ time off. Any news of Floyd's where abouts now? miss him so much already.

This would be such a cop out. They openly duck Foreman because he's too long, but they feel beating Cotto at 154 really proves anything? At least if he fought Marg, we know it'd be a guy he hasn't already beaten.
